@guizzy That is partly because we have not oversaturated any hospitals yet. Italy has. -

But as for whether the US or Europe is the current "epicenter" of the pandemic, the whole argument is silly. Every country goes into exponential growth until they enforce a nationwide lockdown. Some parts of the US are just now starting their lockdowns, as are some countries in Europe. -

I don't think the article controls very well for anything. In particular, in both China and Italy, the overwhelming majority of reported infections have happened in a single region of the country, so "19 days past the 100th case" of #2019-nCoV means something quite different when most of the cases are in a single subregion of a country than when they are fairly well spread out.… -

I guess Ryan McMaken via the Mises Institute made that case, not Tyler Durden.
